Install additional software (new user)

[suburbandisposal]

in case anyone is still having similar issues , I did some light digging and came upon a couple of threads

http://askubuntu.com/questions/167464/pr...t4-library

in that thread someone suggested what seems to be a pretty powerful/useful command combo that seems to have done the trick

Code:

sudo apt-get update --fix-missing && sudo apt-get -t stable -f install && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

that thread was linked from this previous one
http://askubuntu.com/questions/177340/ho...y-problems

ran the commands in there as well for good measure (obviously for the specific libqt4 problems)

Code:

apt-get download libqt4-xmlpatterns:i386
apt-get download libqt4-xmlpatterns:amd64
sudo dpkg -i libqt4-xmlpatterns*.deb
sudo dpkg --configure -a

if this was a dumb thing to do please feel free to interject  8)
